What More Could I Need (Book #2) AOT Fanfiction

Bounty

Takahiro Akiyama

It's funny. I was only sixteen when she was born. Prior, I was simply a guard in training. When I saw her for the first time and held her in my arms, I just knew I had to protect her with all my heart. I wanted to be the one person she could truly trust and depend on. Now...I want to kick the younger me in the face for having such thoughts.

Saichi Yamazaki is twenty-four now. She finished her medical program at a young age and works as a renowned surgeon at the best hospital we have in Japan, Sacred Heart. At night, she runs a popular bar she owns. She has published a book and is currently working on a second. On top of that, she has a few modeling gigs here and there. She is known to be one of the most beautiful and talented women alive. I will only agree with the public aspect. She presents herself to be a very respectful young woman that works hard. 

For someone that has known her personally for many years, I know those traits are only her facade. She's stubborn, rude, and blunt. If it weren't for me, I doubt she would get anything done on time. If she doesn't care about something, she won't do it or waste her effort. She gets it honestly from her father. However, I respect her on many levels. She has a heart for those close to her. She'll take down anyone that hurts someone she cares about. 

The Yamazaki family is secretly one of the most ruthless and cruel yakuza groups in the world, let alone Japan. Yakuza is the name given to organized criminal gangs that originate from Japan. Yakuza is not a single organization but instead a collection of separate gangs or clans. This family is involved with almost every terrible crime in Japan possible, from lowly gambling and prostitution rackets to the halls of high-level political and financial power.

Saichi is next to lead the clan, once her father steps down. Until then, she keeps as far away as she can from yakuza business. The Yamazaki family business is the whole reason I was brought around them in the first place. My father was hired as one of the head bodyguards and I came in during my teen years to train to be like him. It was during that time that I met the newborn Saichi. It wasn't a secret to anyone that I cared deeply for the child and would do anything to keep her out of harm's way. 

After completing my training, her father approached me personally and made it very clear that he would be leaving his daughter in my hands. He had many enemies and his daughter needed as much protection as she could get. Now, she tends to make her own enemies with her outspoken attitude and disregard for human emotions. 

On this particular night, Lance Yamazaki called his daughter to his home for an important matter. It is eleven at night and I know she's exhausted from the work shift she just finished at the hospital. When she's tired, she cranky as hell. So, with that combined with her father, this is going to be a shit show in every way. Lance sits across from his daughter at his dining table. 

He takes a sip of the tea in front of him and sighs. "I wish this was just another way for me to ruin your life but this is actually serious. One of my sources just informed that there has been a bounty placed on your head." A bounty on her means that someone is willing to pay money for anyone to bring her in, dead or alive. Legally, it's the government doing things like that but even clan leaders will do it if the person is worth the price. "It's an old clan, White Fang."

Saichi is staying silent. I'm standing to the side so I can see she hasn't changed her blank facial expression. She is calm and gives off the attitude of not really caring about the news she has just been given. It's no surprise to me. Saichi Yamazaki fears no being and has absolutely no respect for authority above her own. She's intelligent and very skilled. She will be able to know how to defeat her opponent at first glance. She has faith in herself and so do I. 

Lance snaps his fingers and two guards come leading in a young man. He's short, cut hair with shaved sides. I don't think I've seen him around here before. "This is Levi Ackerman. As of today, he will be one of your new bodyguards." A bodyguard? That short man? "He's from the Ackerman clan."

The Ackerman clan is a rival gang that is more territorial in Tokyo. Saichi yawns. "I do not need a new guard. Put that man back where you found him."

"This was not an offer."

"And this is not something I care to discuss any further."

"Then it's settled. He will be coming by this weekend."
